Non-Medical Volunteers Needed for Chirurgeons' Point and Battles at Pennsic

Volunteers with no medical or first aid training will be in great demand at the upcoming Pennsic
War's Chirurgeons' Point and at the battles.
Upon entering Chirurgeons' Point at the Pennsic War, patients are greeted,
offered a drink, asked to fill out a treatment form, and settled to wait for
someone to see to their complaints -- usually all without having talked to an
actual Chirurgeon. The volunteer at the reception desk was most likely a
Chirurgeon's Scribe, a non-medically-trained volunteer whose job it is to greet
patients and take information.

The Chirurgeons have a long history of utilizing scribes to help with the
burden of patient paperwork, and this year the staff hopes to increase this
volunteer activity. Scribes work for four-hour shifts throughout the day and
night, just like Chirurgeons, with 1-2 scribes assigned to the reception desk
at the Point. Scribes will also be needed for each battle, where they will be
assigned to help take information for treating Chirurgeons at the battlefield
points.

All Chirurgeon Scribes must be 18 years of age or older due to legal
requirements. The Chirurgeons would like to encourage anyone under the age of 18 to
volunteer at the Point for activities such as running errands and delivering
messages.

Anyone wishing to volunteer to assist the Chirurgeons may sign up at
Chirurgeons' Point. Please bring a photo I.D. There will be training sessions
for volunteers throughout the War. Check at the Point for dates and times.

Have a safe and healthy War!
